Was driving my 71 stock 350 friday night it just died after about an hour of driving. It will turn over but not start. Fuel pump is working and I changed the fuel filter. The car started after I changed fuel filter then died after about 30 seconds. Where do I check next?

Thanks

The screen in your in tank pump might be clogged or a fuel line anywhare along the line clogged.

You have to start with the basics. A car needs fuel. spark, and compression to run. Look down the throat of the carb and work the throttle. Can you see a stream of fuel from the accelerator pump? If so, you have fuel. Next test for spark. Use your favorite technique - spark plug tester or pull a plug and use that. If you have both and the timing is right, check for compression, but that's pretty unlikely. Sounds like fuel or spark.
